Valium, a brand name for diazepam, cannot be specified on an NHS prescription as regulations require that the generic name be used unless particular forms, such as injections or rectal tubes are required. These more unusual forms are not available under the brand name Valium.
The following tables provide figures for all forms of diazepam dispensed by national health service doctors, with the corresponding net ingredient cost. As most prescriptions will be dispensed by NHS pharmacists, additional information is provided for all prescriptions dispensed.
